‘The children on Meno seem to live such a pure

existence, free from the complications and pitfalls

that are so common in the outside world. A good

time for these children includes the kicking of a

soccer ball, a game of marbles, riding their BMX,

or simply hanging out under a tree. You can just

see the unadulterated happiness that radiates

from their faces. I have tried to capture something

of the essence of their joy in my photographs.

There is something in their faces that I believe

we can all relate to as human beings. Perhaps for

a split second, these photographs can take you

back to an age of innocence, imagination, and joy.’
